During this school holiday, 13-year old Jennifer Awuor makes her way to a class in Bombolulu, Kibra. The little girl has a notebook and a pair of dancing shoes in hand. She catches up with the other students before they form a circle to be informed on the day’s activities.

The dance educators, Eric Juma, Diana Akoth and Moses Murigu brief them on the day’s life skills teaching. Each student is asked to check in with their emotions and express them through a dance to music of their choice. The dance educator forms groups to present choreography of their own.
